la david johnson, sergeant johnson as his mother raised him like a son. they were there. the phone call as i understand was on speaker, which sounded the president of the united states called, it s an occasion, it s a moment. and they were appalled at what they heard. rightly or wrongly, they were, and it wasn t intended to deepen mrs. johnson s grief, the widow, but clearly it did. and he didn t general kelly didn t seem to quite understand that entire story. by the way, myesha johnson, we should repeat, 24 years old, the mother of two little children, two months away from having their third. i want to put back on the screen, the fake news is going crazy with wacky congresswoman
her in a time of grief and she was there to be supportive. as was the woman who had raised la david johnson, sergeant johnson as his mother raised him like a son. they were there. the phone call as i understand was on speaker, which sounded the president of the united states called, it s an occasion, it s a moment. and they were appalled at what they heard. rightly or wrongly, they were, and it wasn t intended to deepen mrs. johnson s grief, the widow, but clearly it did. and he didn t general kelly didn t seem to quite understand that entire story. by the way, myesha johnson, we should repeat, 24 years old, the mother of two little children, two months away from having their third. i want to put back on the
president trump said what he denied about i saying about an american soldier killed. democratic congresswoman, fredricka wilson said trump called the widow and said, quote, he knew what he signed up for. that s word for word what she said the president said. here is the president yesterday, and his chief of staff today, talking about that exact same phone call. didn t say what that woman said. didn t say it at all. a congresswoman who listened in on a phone call from the president of the united states. he tried to express that opinion that he is a brave man, a fallen hero. he knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted. that was the message transmitted. out front, former clinton white house aid and former communications director, brian
secretary mattis, secretary tillerson, general mc34569er. mcmaster, general kelly, have a firm grasp of the scene, international scene and allies and adversaries and i hope the president will rely on their advice. if the president were listening to publicly stated positions we wouldn t be having this conversation about this. the president and congress heard recently from the secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs they think it s in our best interests. who in the administration thinks otherwise, to your understanding? it s our understanding the national security adviser, secretary of defense, secretary of state, have all expressed reservations about what the president is doing. who s advice is he taking on this? i think the president is choosing to act on his own political insights and values. i think he campaigned very hard against this deal. i think he views it from a very negative perspective and in my in my opinion, he easily
he s deep in thought to say the least about a way ahead in iran, and once again, he s not the only one that thinks that maybe the deal that was struck under the previous administration is a deal that, in the long term, even in the medium and long term will protect america. and kelly responded to stories that say he s serving in his role at chief of staff to bring military discipline to the free-wheeling president. i was not sent in or was not brought to this job to control anything but the flow of information to our president, so that he can make the best decisions. i restrict no one, by the way from going in to see him, but when we go in to see him now rather than onesies and twosies we go in and help him collectively understand what what he needs to understand to make these vital decisions. kelly didn t solve all of the white house s problems today but he did take a whistling kettle
